Open System Services NFS Management and Operations Guide

Removes the specified USER object from the OSS NFS subsystem. Deleting a USER object
from the OSS NFS subsystem does not remove the USER object name from groups where it
is listed. See “GROUP Object” (page 30).
DELETE USER
Reports the object attributes of the specified USER object.INFO USER
Reports the names of the USER objects that meet specified criteria.NAMES USER
If remote NFS users who do not have a specific user ID are allowed access to server files, you must
create a “nobody” USER alias. Before doing so, read the considerations in the Open System
Services NFS SCF Reference Manual under the ADD USER command.
GROUP Object
A GROUP object represents a group of logically related users.
Configuration and Prerequisites
A GROUP object can be added at any time during configuration of the OSS NFS subsystem.
Commands That Operate on GROUP Objects
You can alter GROUP objects as the security requirements of the users and the network change.
These SCF commands operate on GROUP objects.
Defines a group of users or groups. This command gives previously defined users or groups
access to the OSS NFS subsystem under a new group name. The command also allows USER
ADD GROUP
and GROUP objects to be added to a new group. Users must already be registered as USER
objects, and new member groups must already be defined as GROUP objects.
Modifies the membership of a GROUP object. Users must already be registered as USER
objects.
ALTER GROUP
Removes the specified GROUP object from the OSS NFS subsystem. This command does not
remove the capability to access OSS NFS by user or group members of the deleted group.
DELETE GROUP
Such access can be removed only with DELETE commands that specifically name the users
or groups to be removed.
Reports the members of the specified GROUP object.INFO GROUP
Reports the names of the GROUP objects that meet specified criteria.NAMES GROUP
SERVER Object
The SERVER object identifies a server process that provides OSS NFS access to a single OSS fileset.
Configuration and Prerequisites
Starting a server process has the effect of performing a local mount using the server’s mount point.
A SERVER object can be added at any time during configuration of the OSS NFS subsystem.
However, you must start SERVER objects in the correct order. Beginning at the root of the local file
hierarchy, servers must be brought up so that each server’s mount point is defined when it is started.
Therefore, a SERVER object can be started only after its parent server processes are active, including
a SERVER object for the root of the directory that includes all OSS NFS filesets.
Commands That Operate on SERVER Objects
You do not usually need to perform any routine management tasks on SERVER objects other than
initial configuration. These SCF commands operate on SERVER objects:
Immediately stops the operation of one or more started servers and removes the associated
filesets from the OSS NFS subsystem. This command stops pending and in-process requests
